### **Using the Asset Library**

Whether you are looking for an open mic for a comedy night, a desk or water cooler for your virtual office, or holiday decor, we've got you covered! To add assets to your world:

1. Click the **Assets ![assets](https://22253251.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/22253251/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/assets.svg)** icon in the bottom half of the left sidebar to open the **Assets** drawer
2. Browse the whole library, filter by category, or search through the library until you find the item you wish to place
3. Click on the asset thumbnail to select it
4. On the canvas, click where you would like to place the asset.

Clicking the “Table View” button will open a table with additional columns of information on each asset. Similarly to the drawer, you can use the filters at the top of the page to switch between lists (My Assets, Topia Assets, and Placed Assets) and filter results.

### **Add a Custom Text Asset**

You can easily create text assets directly by dropping the special custom text asset in your world.

1. Click the **Assets ![assets](https://22253251.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/22253251/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/assets.svg)** icon in the bottom half of the left sidebar to open the **Assets** drawer
2. From the dropdown filter, select **All**.
3. Search for **Text Asset** and click the ![textFormatting](https://22253251.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/22253251/Latest%20UI%20Icons%20-%202025/textFormatting.svg) icon to select it.
4. On the canvas, click where you would like to place the text asset.
5. Once placed and while in builder mode, click on the text asset
6. The **Select** drawer will open on the right. Here, you can enter the text you want to display and style it to your preference.

#### **Modify Text Asset to be in the Foreground**

1. Once placed and while in builder mode, click on the text asset
2. The **Select** drawer will open on the right. Click on the **Configuration** tab, then select **Layers**.
3. Under **Layers**, go to **Display Layer** and set the text asset to **Top Layer**.
4. In the **Modify Top Layer** section, click **Forwards** multiple times until the text appears in front of the foreground asset.
5. This adds a region of transparent pixels at the base of the text asset, allowing it to appear in front of the foreground asset; you can also add an exact number of pixels in the text field
